Charles River scientists pioneered the quantitative study of cutaneous photobiology by designing instruments, techniques and protocols now accepted as industry standards, and then extended these technologies to ocular phototoxicity and other specialty areas. We utilize a solid knowledge of different light sources and use industry standard calibrated and validated spectroradiometric and radiometric monitoring instrumentation.
All this fits with extensive experience of animal and in vitro models to provide study designs that meet both standard and specialized requirements, with the assurance that the light quality and quantity is accurate and repeatable, regardless of the source.
